Comparative Metropolitan Policy (eBook, ePUB)

Governing Beyond Local Boundaries in the Imagined Metropolis

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

How are metropolitan regions governed? What makes some regions more effective than others in managing policies that cross local jurisdictional boundaries? Political coordination among municipal governments is necessary to attract investment, rapid and efficient public transit systems, and to sustain cultural infrastructure in metropolitan regions. In this era of fragmented authority, local governments alone rarely possess the capacity to address these policy issues alone.
